About This Project

The Georgia Food Bank Association hired Tori Allen PR to oversee its statewide campaign for Summer Hunger as partnered with the Bright From the Start Georgia’s Department of Early Care and Learning, Department of Education, USDA and Southeast Dairy Association. Specifically the effort was to generate media coverage about summer hunger, meaning when students leave school and no longer have access to the free lunch program, many go hungry in the summer. In addition to media efforts on the program itself, TAPR also overaw the kick-off campaigns throughout the state.
